    29.15 km

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    George walks; 25km west and then 15 km south

    Resolving the directions to x and y axis;

    North and South represent positive and negative y axis.

    East and West represent positive and negative x axis respectively.

    25km west

    Rx = - 25 km

    15 km south

    Ry = - 15 km

    The resultant displacement from the house is;

    R = √ (Rx^2 + Ry^2)

    Substituting the values;

    R = √ ((-15) ^2 + (-25) ^2)

    R = √ (225+625)

    R = √ (850)

    R = 29.15 km

    Therefore, he is 29.15 km from house
